It's not calculated. The user types in the value. The formatting was to
get it a percentage.
So, the user types in 8.7 and the formatting changes it to 8.7%.

No macro needed. The fact that you have already applied a number format
suggests that you're using a field. If it's an = field or (as sounds more
likely) a calculated form field, all you have to do is add /100 to the
calculation.

OK then.
How can I create a macro to divide the cell contents (that I am exiting)
by
100 ?

thanks,
Darryl

In addition to adding a number format, you'll have to do some math to
divide
by 100.

Yes, of course I already knew that.

Rather, I want to enter 8.7 and have

the cell show 8.7%.

how do I accomplish that ?

Darryl was telling us:
Darryl nous racontait que :

Greetings,
I have a table in my word document. One of the cells is
numeric
in
format. I have set the number format
to 0.00%. The problem is when I enter 8.7 it converts it to
870%.
I want it to be 8.7%.

How do I do this ? Do I have to create a macro that
mathematically
converts it ?

Enter
.087
instead.

Salut!
